How to Play Socket
Quick start
Guide Socket through each fast stage, build speed on open ground, and use jumps and electric attacks to clear robots and hazards. Slow down before blind drops, collect lightning bolts and health, and search alternate routes for bonus items. Keep momentum for loops and long ramps but favour precision on narrow platforms.
Controls
D-pad: run, crouch, and aim. A or C: jump. B: electric attack or speed action. Start pauses. Hold a direction to accelerate, steer while airborne, and use the attack before landing beside an enemy. Stage gimmicks may launch Socket automatically, so prepare the next direction early.
